"...my girl, Bronwen Llewellyn, who preferred to be called Stormy, would sometimes say, Loop me in, odd one. She meant that she wanted me to share the events of my day with her, or my thoughts, or my fears and worries." #Loop #QuotsyFeb19

I feel like I wasted so brain space and time on this book... I like the character Odd Thomas and I always want him to pull through so I forced my way through this book. But my goodness the majority of this book,in my opinion, was rambling... I was so happy to finally get around to figuring out the why's and how's and who's involved in the mystery.
Out of the series I've only liked the first book and I'm hoping rest of the series is better..
I think I'm done with the Odd Thomas books. This one was okay. Just okay. The story is convoluted and unbelievable in many many ways. Elvis is always fun and I appreciate the wit in the book as usual.
Best thing about this book was the existence of Brother Knuckles. Otherwise, it was not good.
Now I want a fairy godmother like this, too. 🙏🏻👸🏼🧚🏼♀️
I‘m loving the Odd Thomas series but I have to say this one didn‘t reel me in as much as the others. It‘s still a good book, it just wasn‘t amazing. And Frank Sinatra is here! I can‘t wait to see where this is going.
I think when I‘m done with this book and before I start Odd Hours, I‘m going to read You Are Destined To Be Together Forever because I honestly don‘t get his obsession with Stormy and I‘m pissed Koontz never explored the fact that she got Odd‘s birth mark tattooed on her.
Starting this right now. I want to have the series finished this month.
I will grant that you became remorseful, even contrite, and you did an amazingly generous thing by giving away your fortune, taking vows. You are reformed, you may be a better man, but you are not a different man. Absolution grants you forgiveness for it, but does not expunge the past. The man you were still lives within you, repressed by the man you have struggled to become.
Not the best in the Odd Thomas series in my opinion. I felt it was quite repetitive and overall just dragging out the series. I felt compelled to drop the series several times during this book, but I didn't solely due to outside recommendations that I finish it.
